10 Times Lara Croft Went Too Far

6. WHERE. IS. MY. MOTHER?!

In Tomb Raider Legend, Lara has spent the whole game searching for answers surrounding her mother’s disappearance and supposed death that she witnessed as a child. At the end Lara discovers that the rift she opens is actually a time rift and her mother surprisingly survived.

Lara fails to listen to the instructions from her former friend turned enemy, Amanda, who is actually trying to help her and then flips on her when things go wrong.

Lara holds a gun to Amanda’s head and threatens “Make sense right now or I swear I’ll execute you where you stand.” Amanda is shaken but reiterates that she told Lara what to do. Instead of accepting her mistakes, Lara snaps and shoots at Amanda, missing her on purpose, while screaming: “WHERE. IS. MY. MOTHER?!”

It’s the first time we see Lara snap to such a shocking degree in this reboot game. Despite Lara technically being in the wrong, it’s hard to not feel for her and cheer her on.
